Love should be after taking revenge on the Shinomiya family

Almost everyone was there that night, and it was a deep memory engraved in the minds of Zhenfei and each of them that could not be erased.

"By the way..." Then Concubine Zhen remembered something that she hadn't asked carefully, "Why didn't Wan Lihua catch up that night?"

Not only did I fail to catch up, but there was no news after the incident, and I returned to Kyushu the next day.

"I didn't feel well for a few days, and my mother sent me another message, asking me to go back to Kyushu to recover from my illness." Wan Lihua said the answer that had been calculated long ago, "And after that happened, my health got worse, so I had to..."

"That's it." Concubine Zhen shook her head, not even knowing Wanlihua or Huiye, who was less free back then.

But that is not important anymore, there are more important issues right now.

She adjusted her breathing, "Because there are too many doubts, even if there is no evidence, I don't think it should be so easy to accept that it was an accident."

"I didn't believe it from the beginning." Wan Lihua replied simply.

Both truth and lie.

Because I knew the answer from the beginning, I didn't believe it; but that was not a suspicion based on speculation, which was different from everyone else.

"Sure enough, you too..." Concubine Zhen poked her head forward, and looked sideways at Ying Lili's expression.

The blond girl kept her face blank, wondering if it was because the amount of information in the conversation made her unable to answer.

"It's a pity that I'm far away in Kyushu, and I don't have any conditions, so I can't investigate." Wan Lihua shrugged.

Concubine Zhen smiled helplessly, "We are not much better... This matter is a bit sensitive in the final analysis, and the emperor and I can't use our family's resources to investigate, so we still haven't heard much during this period of time."

She sorted out her thoughts and eliminated useless information.

"Anyway, I heard that many files related to that incident have been sealed." Concubine Zhen pursed her lips, "You can't read it casually without high enough authority."

This alone shows that the whole incident needs to conceal some facts, so that the public's impression of this incident remains at the level of an accident.

After all, judging from the follow-up results, the explosion and fire of the cruise ship at that time were easily forgotten because of the timely evacuation and small casualties.

Sigong Shizhu is a person who is only familiar with those around him, outsiders don't even know who it is, and no one else will care.

"Further down, it will be difficult to investigate, after all, people will find out." Zhenfei said softly.

If you continue to go deeper, the news will be leaked, and people will know that the young lady of the Sijo family is investigating the accident of the death of the young master of the Sigong family.

Not to mention whether or not how many people will follow suit and how many side issues will arise, no one can say.

"Actually, after returning to Tokyo, I have also started to investigate." Wan Lihua suddenly said to Concubine Zhen: "However, I have actually handed over the more details of this matter to my elder brother. Maybe you can discuss it with him."

Concubine Zhen was shocked, with an expression of disbelief, "Sixteen Nights? Why would he be willing to do this?"

"...In the words of my elder brother, it means 'there is no need to be jealous with the deceased'." Wan Lihua said seemingly helplessly, "And I promised my elder brother that when the truth of this matter comes to light, I will be at ease and marry him as an adult and be a good wife."

"You..." Concubine Zhen didn't know what to say.

But Wan Lihua's proposal is very attractive.

On the one hand, Concubine Zhen has enough trust in Izayoi, on the other hand, Izayoi is the person who has the least relationship with Shizhu, so it is not so easy for people to notice her movements in this regard.

Just do what she said, Concubine Zhen immediately stood up from the bath, went out to wipe her body and change her clothes.

Hearing the voice of Concubine Zhen opening the door and disappearing outside, Ying Lili breathed a sigh of relief, and stared at Wanlihua helplessly.

"What 'promised to get married if I found out' oh...you can really make up nonsense."

"It's all true, it's just that they say things differently." Wan Lihua grimaced, "Besides, I'm the only one who wants to initiate an investigation into that matter. There must be resistance. If Concubine Zhen is willing—"

"I would too."

"I know. But I think Ying Lili shouldn't reveal her intentions too casually. It's more suitable for you to make up for the seven years of lost time with your elder brother at ease."

"Well……"

On the other side, Concubine Zhen, who didn't know the follow-up conversation in the bathroom, found Izayoi in the study under the guidance of the people in the villa.

He's going to sleep alone tonight, so he might as well deal with some things in the study and go to bed later.

"Well, Sixteen Nights, I have something to ask you." Concubine Zhen sat down on the cushion in front of him.

"What's the matter, so solemn?" Sixteen nights laughed.

"I heard from Wan Lihua that you made an agreement with her to help her investigate Shi Zhu's matter?" Concubine Zhen said straight to the point.

Sixteen nights nodded knowingly, "That's the case. After all, my fiancée is always thinking about the old man, and it's hard for me to deal with it. That's why I thought of helping her and fulfilling her wish, so that I can feel at ease in the future."

"...Okay." It's not that Concubine Zhen can't understand, but she can't express any useful opinions, "Then count me in now, I need your help to find a way to investigate this matter."

"Yes, yes, after all, there is no conflict of purpose—" Izayoi calmly said, "I'm just worried that you just said that on a whim."

"why?"

"Whether it's Wanlihua or Zhenfei, you must be doubting the truth of that incident in your heart, but you can't go deep because of your age and identity." Shiliuye closed the document in his hand, "And once I help you investigate this This means that the Sijo family is essentially on the opposite side of the Shinomiya family."

"Because I am the eldest lady of the Sitiao family." Of course Concubine Zhen knew it well.

"I didn't discuss it with my parents, and I didn't discuss it with my younger brother who will inherit the family business in the future." Izayo pursed his lips, "Just like this, I entrusted a past event that may intensify the conflict between Sigong and Shijo to outsiders for assistance. .”

"Are you willing?" Concubine Zhen grabbed the hem of her loose T-shirt.

"Of course." Izayoi smiled, "I'm asking about your determination."

"Then there's nothing to say." Concubine Zhen laughed, "I know I'm not very smart, at most I just have good academic performance. But once some things start, if there is no result, I may not sleep well in the future."

"It hasn't changed all this time, Concubine Zhen." Izayoi suddenly said softly.

"I am me, the real concubine of the Sitiao family." The girl grinned triumphantly, "Besides... the emperor will definitely not object to me."

"The relationship between your siblings has always been very good." Izayo nodded earnestly, "As for the emperor, I will also go to see him and explain these changes."

Concubine Zhen's nose suddenly felt a little sore, she thought of Shi Zhu inexplicably because of his tone.

"Well, that's it."

Then, the girl stretched out her hand and held it solemnly with Izayoi's.

Chapter 33 The Tea House

This is a simple and elegant shop filled with the aroma of rushes and roasted tea leaves. There is no counter, and all the seats are cubicles.Of course, all cubicles are covered with tatami mats.Subtle sounds flowed in the air, and it could be vaguely deduced that it was the sound of other guests pouring tea and talking.

When Shijodi walked into the private room facing the water, Tachibana Shikuya was already drinking tea.

"You pay the bill, you pay the bill!" Sixteen nights laughed.

"Society activities are a little delayed, and I'm late, so I'll pay the bill."

Di put down his schoolbag, he didn't look like he had been trained, probably because he pushed it away specially today.

"You can order whatever you want to drink, and you can drink the same one." Shiliuye reached out and gestured for the tea and snacks in front of him, "Anyway, you pay the bill."

In the voice of sixteen nights, the emperor ordered the pot of jade to the waiter who rushed over soon.

"What kind of wind is blowing today, it actually called me out to drink tea alone." Sitting cross-legged on the cushion, the emperor was very relaxed, "I also specially chose this kind of quiet and inconspicuous shop."

"Let's talk about it later." Sixteen nights picked up the tea and drank it, then got another cup and put it in front of him, "Is there any problem with the club?"

"It's okay, it's not bad for a day or two of training anyway." The emperor shrugged, "How about you? I heard from my sister that the Xiuzhi Institute held a welcome party with French exchange students? You also had a lot force?"

Izayo shook his head, "It's just the principal's test, although his original intention was to go to the student union, especially the president Baiyin."

"Then how did you get involved?" Di raised the ice water.

"It's nothing, because the time is tight and the task is heavy, Vice President Shinomiya just asked me for help." Shizaiye rolled his eyes when he said this, but his peripheral vision fell on Di's right hand.

His fingertips trembled imperceptibly in the hand holding the cup.

"I see, I never thought that Her Royal Highness Princess of the Sigong family would ask outsiders for such an important matter." Di smiled and shook his head, picked up the water glass and drank slowly.

"It's nothing more than seeing things and thinking about people." Izayo, who knows everything, didn't intend to let the emperor misunderstand here, "Miss Sigong lost her younger brother a few years ago, most likely because she saw the deceased young lady in me. The young master's shadow."

Di, who was putting down the water glass, was taken aback for a moment, he looked up at Izayoi in surprise, "Eh?"

"In the end, it's just my guess." Shizai Ye pursed his lips and smiled, "I have to say something else."

In the final analysis, it was because I was in the middle of the whirlpool, and I hadn't wasted all these years, that I could grasp my sister's thoughts extremely accurately.

But this layer of inside information is absolutely impossible to tell the emperor at present.

"No wonder...it's the same." Di took a deep breath, his voice seemed a little unnatural.

Shinomiya Kaguya sees things and thinks about others, so why isn't he?Therefore, I can understand Kaguya's mood.

"Is the party going well?" Di said, "My sister seems to have attended, obviously she can't speak French..."

"It's an exchange student, but there are still some students who can understand Japanese. Concubine Zhen has seen big and small scenes, and this kind of occasion is very suitable for her." Sixteen nights nodded, "But the snacks used for the previous event took up a lot of money. What about her rest day?"

"Haha, my sister is very happy anyway." Di said, "She told me about it when she came back."

Then, Izayoi also laughed.

After laughing for a while, the room fell silent, at this moment the waiter brought up the pot of tea that Emperor had ordered.

After the person left, Shizaiye continued to speak: "Actually, I specially invited you out for a cup of tea today, because there is something special I want to talk about."

"I know, otherwise you would have just called me to your house for dinner." Di Tanshou expressed his understanding, and also joked, "When can I eat Wanlihua's puffer fish again?"

"I'll arrange it when I'm not so busy." Izayoi leaned on the table and looked at Di, "What I want to say—"

"It has something to do with carnations, right?" The emperor sensed it very keenly, "I have known you for five years, and I have never heard you mention these things, and today I suddenly brought them up on the grounds of Her Royal Highness..."

Tachibana Izayo never targeted aimlessly.

Whether it's rumors or getting along with him personally, Di has verified this judgment time and time again.

"Since you guessed it, it will be much more convenient to talk about." Sixteen Nights smiled brightly, "Let me start directly from the result."

God nodded.

In fact, he has been thinking that he has known Izayo for so long, but he has never made any requests to himself as the eldest son of Shijo, but has always helped Shijo Emperor in various ways, big and small.He is also committed to promoting the estranged relationship between the Tachibana family and the Sijo family as the elder brother of Wanlihua.

As if just this friendship is enough.

But there is no free lunch in the world, and the emperor knew that the various favors given by Shizaiye over the years must have been to ask for a greater reward in the end.

If it's reasonable, he wouldn't mind joining forces with Izayoi to have a look.

The Sri Lankan has passed away, and it is impossible for him to escape forever. After all, he also has ideals and ambitions, but he lacks the friend who most wants to walk with him.

"It was the time last weekend, after shopping, Concubine Zhen came to my house to stay overnight—" Shiliuye smiled slightly, looking as if she was considering her words, "She played with Wan Lihua and the others, and seemed to talk about a lot of past things, and then... Lingjie found me before going to bed at night, and entrusted me with one thing."

"Sister, she..." Di was surprised.

Contrary to what she said that night, in fact Concubine Zhen didn't tell her younger brother immediately after she came back, and Izayo, who was aware of this, just happened to meet Emperor in person, so she brought all the problems over and let him handle them personally.

"Speaking of which, it's not irrelevant to the emperor...so Lingjie also handed over the part of the notification to me." Sixteen nights continued.

He suddenly adopted this somewhat respectful way of addressing Concubine Zhen in front of the emperor, which made the emperor feel uncomfortable.

It's too formal, so it's going to be extra big.

And the only thing that can make Concubine Zhen, who has not had much in-depth contact with family affairs, pay so much attention to is——

"Sister Ling still has doubts in her heart about the unfortunate accident that happened in Yokohama Port seven years ago. Regarding the tragedy of your best friend Shigong Shizhu's corpse, Concubine Zhen is determined to start today, seven years later. Pursue previously unreachable leads."

Izayoi spoke word by word.

To his best friend, as if talking about someone unrelated, telling the fact of his death and concealing his identity, he couldn't explain what it felt like.

Maybe I can only be thankful that it's even more uncomfortable not to tell my sister and the others.

"Sure enough, my sister actually chose to ask you in the end."

Di Lianrong responded with a serious face.

Chapter 34 Emperor's Heart

Regarding this matter, the Si Tiao siblings already had a tacit understanding, and it was very difficult to investigate the inside story.

Because the Sigong family will definitely be the first to notice the actions of the Sitiao siblings. In front of those old and cunning guys, their sibling identities are extremely conspicuous, and it is difficult to completely cover them up.

Especially... the Shitiao family is not of one mind.

At the beginning when they left the Sigong family and changed Sitiao's surname, the emperor knew that some of those who left did not come out of their own will, but had to go with them, and it would only be worse if they stayed.

The emperor knew, and so did the emperor's father and grandfather.

Over the past few decades, the old people have gradually passed away, the newcomers have gradually grown up, and their minds have become more diverse. Naturally, there are many people who want to return to the Sigong family, so they secretly communicated with the family.

Since it is not airtight, taking personal action will inevitably affect the whole body.
